Real-time $R_t$ of COVID-19 pandemic in Texas (Until Sep 22)

This report estimates the county level real-time effective production number ($R_t$) of the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas, based on data from the Texas Health and Human Services. This report is updated daily with the most recent version available at the ICTR website.

This report is created and maintained by data scientists from the Institute for Clinical & Translational Research, Baylor College of Medicine, with an algorithm that is based on Kevin Systrom's work for the US data. Please refer to the original report for details.

Plotting in the Time Domain with Credible Intervals

Since our results include uncertainty, we'd like to be able to view the most likely value of $R_t$ along with its highest-density interval.
